Saving this as a copypasta.

Imagine trying to explain FOSS to this fucking administration.

Really? I had an app that would autogenarate time sheets for work in Google Sheets. I decided to minimise API calls by doing a single call to Google Drive then parse the HTML and reupload. Not a big Python project but ChatGPT hit a wall pretty fast on that one. Though, tbf the documentation was suprisingly opaque so I suppose that goes back to your point.

That project also produced my finest pile of spaghetti code since I had to account for stretched cells in the HTML parsing. I still have a piece of paper with my innumerate math scribbles. The paper makes sense to me. The code does not.

I really appreciate this list and use lots of applications like this but I would find it impossible to complety replace YouTube with PeerTube.

How’s that work anyway. Fingerprinting?

That’s why they’re at the bottom.

This is fantastic. Thank you. I didn’t know EFF provided this service.

Yeah, I’ve found myself wasting quite a lot of time thinking of the ‘perfect regex’ for task X only to realise that I could have avoided doing so by simply taking a different approach.

Faair. Thanks anyways.

Ah, I think I may have used the wrong terminology (though thank you for the respobses). What I’m really looking for is an organisation that provides public reviews of FOSS codebases and assesses their privacy and security. Is that a thing?

Thanks!

Hey! What is that color scheme? I love it.

Loved this! I think we need more silly pointless sites in our lives.

Once worked contract work at an hourly rate for a business that insisted on random unpaid meetings out of hours.

That’s when I learned that you can filter emails based on the source and the words they contain.

“meeting” FROM company_email.dix => trash

Does anyone with a greater knowledge of the mechanisms of the EU funding bodies know if I can do anything about this? For example, can I email my country’s EU reprasentitve and present and argument for FOSS? Or is the funding decision here managed by a specifuc group within the EU that my representitive can have little influence on?

Love it. Never seen Miasma before. Great colour scheme.

Ah, I didn’t know Pike or Thompson were involved with Plan 9 . Does anyome here know why they used the Ed Wood movie for the name?

Great work!
